Came across a video shared out on FB today. It's about Indian working culture, where people working within the working hours are considered slacking while those staying behind till wee hours are considered hardworking and competent.
I like the part where it mentioned that we are being paid for the working hours, and hours after that are our own time. And there are other lives outside of our working environment, which we should be spending with our loved ones, learning up other skills.
It's true that there is still this kind of culture existing. Everywhere. But we can see that newer generations are fighting against this old working culture. However, there are also people taking advantage of this fight, to their own personal advantage. But still, there should be indeed a balance for this, work-life balance.
One spends about 16 to 20 years in study life, another 30 to 40 years in working life. And our whole life may be around 80 to 90 years only. If we had only studied during our study life, and only worked during our work life, then what would have happened to us?
There will be no such thing as spending time with loved ones, no such thing as hobby, no family and friends.
Having family and friend is not by having them as acquaintances , but is by spending time with them to nurture the relationships.
Having hobby is not by learning words about it or looking at the pictures if it, but is by spending time to learn, practice and appreciate it.
So, take a look at yourself.
Where are you during the off working hours?
Have you been given your best during your working hours, so that you can get off work on time?
Have you been overloaded with work unnoticed?
You are the master of your time. Don't let others affect you, make your own priorities in life.
